hey even big engines can get good mileage, your carburated and high hp so i mean i dont expect like 18 or anything but just wondered if it would beat my 400ci 2spd 2.78:1 gear 11mpg by atleast 2-3 mpg. anything helps at the pump and going the distance....

True, I just didn't take notice of the better mileage. I was more concerned with the wear and tear on the motor. But with todays fuel prices its definately a perk!

After jealously following this thread for months, check out what UPS delivered today! By chance, my 10-week backordered Baer brakes came in at the same time, so my UPS guy hauled 8 boxes weighing a total of 490lbs to my door. I offered him some advil.
